CLASS OF 83, 



Classmates : 

At last I feel that I can make a reply to the question 
so frequently asked during the last three months, " How 
is the history coming along ?" and refer you for it to the 
pages which follow. 

In them I have endeavored to let each man tell his 
story in his own words, adding only such things as would 
make the sketch complete, in order that the individuality 
of each might be preserved and the hand of the secretary 
conspicuous only by its absence. 

If the record of some is the barest outline, and in 
cases nothing, do not place all the burden upon the sec- 
retary's shoulders but charge some of it to — it is difficult 
to choose the fitting word — a modesty which, excessive as 
it was most unexpected in 'St, men, heroically withstood 
the allurements of three general circulars and a number 
of personal letters. 

One or two matters that appear may demand explana- 
tion. While considering the suggestion that it would be 
well to insert the class lists as they appeared in the cata- 
logues from year to year, I found on inquiry at the college 
that a large number of catalogues had been destroyed re- 
cently, and that those from 1879 to 1883 were impossible 
to obtain. All doubts as to the expediency of including 
these lists in this work vanished, and you will find the roll 



of the class for the successive years of our course printed 
exactly as it appeared, errors and all, in the University 
Catalogues. 

So many inquiries have been made respecting matters 
which could be found only in the programmes of our Class 
Day and Commencement, particularly for the music of the 
class tree hymn, that it seemed best to print them also for 
convenient reference. 

An examination of the replies to the circulars sent out 
reveals this most gratifying result, that the class is pros- 
pering, that the members have cheerfully and earnestly 
taken up the responsibilities of life, and while none of us 
are millionaires and some may feel that fortune has not yet 
deigned to turn her brightest smile upon them, yet on the 
whole they are men in every sense of the word, doing 
manly work. Furthermore, not one, so far as heard from, 
has been taken from us, and we come to this second re- 
union with full ranks as on the day of graduation. 

The preparation of this record has been a pleasant task, 
and if it has been done in a manner to meet your appro- 
bation I ask nothing more. With kindest wishes to each 
and every one for the future. 

Believe me very sincerely your classmate, 

C. A. Harrington, 

Secretary.

CLASS TREE HYMN. 

As sons, to our dear Alma Mater to-day 
Our gift of affection we bring, 
At thy feet all our hopes and our honors we lay. 
And gratefully, joyfully sing. 

Beside Time's long avenue, bordered by shade. 
We plant our memorial tree, 

A way mark of progress that learning has made, 
And the year of our own " Eighty-three." 

Our hearts shall go upwards, still seeking the liglit. 



As the tree toward heaven sliall 



gi'ow, 



And firm as the branches we'll cling to the miglit 
Ot tJie sturdy Brown trunk, as we go. 

If joy's gentle breezes shall sport o'er life's lea, 
And billow rich, ripening grain. 

When in sunshine, hope changed to fruition we see. 
Then we'll turn to our mother again. 

Or if oncoming years, like the wild surges roll, 
In thy light o'er life's ocean we'll roam, 
And the voices of memory shall sing in the soui 
As we think of our old college home.

Personal Letters. 



Aldrich, John. 

Born at Exeter, Washington County, Rhode 
Island, July i6, i860. Parents, James M. Aldrich 
and Joanna R. (Sherman) Aldrich. Preliminary 
education received in the public schools of West- 
terly, Rhode Island. 

He taught school at Kingston, Rhode Island, 
till June, 1884, was assistant principal of the High 
School at Flushing, Long Island, from September, 
1884, to June, 1885, and was teaching at Kingston 
again during the school year 1885-86. He then 
entered upon a three years' course at the College 
of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. 
He says " I have nothing to add to what you 
already have in the blank filled out by me some- 
time ago. I have simply been a' student of medi- 
cine and am now (May, 1889,) within six weeks of 
graduation, when I hope to take my degree. I 



30 

fear I shall have to deny myself the pleasure of 
the reunion in June. I am under engagement for 
the summer and in the fall my plans are unsettled 
except that I shall try for a hospital appointment. 
Remember me to all the boys." Not married. 
Address, Westerly, Rhode Island. 

Allen, Edwin Pierce. 

Born at Somerset, Bristol County, Massachu 
setts, July 14, 1859. Parents, Pierce B. Allen and 
Sarah A. (Paul) Allen. Preparatory education at 
Pierce Academy, Middleboro', Massachusetts. 

" This communication, though long delayed, 
will be received in time to be incorporated in the 
forthcoming history of the class ; otherwise I shud- 
der to think of the appalling and dismal failure 
that must inevitably await said publication. Allow 
me to record here my appreciation for your thought- 
fulness in providing me with 2, plan, thereby lessen- 
ing to a great extent the intellectual strain and 
eliminating from these memoirs much that might 
be scandalous and impertinent. 

" Six years have sped on rapid wings since that 
eventful day in June, 1883, when good old Mother 
Brown with kindly benediction and God-speed dis- 



31 

missed us from her classic halls and sent us forth, 
as we fondly hoped, on the road to fame and for- 
tune. Now we are asked to pause for a moment in 
our upward course to relate for mutual edification 
the honors and successes that have thus far been 
attained. 

" My story will be brief. Having always had a 
strong predilection for the law, and believing that 
noble science to be best adapted to my ' theory of 
virtue,' I entered, in the autumn of 1883, the offices 
of Thurston, Ripley and Company, counsellors at 
law, Providence, Rhode Island, as a student, and 
spent the succeeding two years sitting at the feet 
of Blackstone, Coke and other great masters of the 
common law, delving deep in the mysteries of legal 
lore. ' Ignorantia legis nemmem excusat ' was the 
pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night 
that led me through the wilderness of an impecu- 
nious law student's life into the promised land with- 
in the bar. I was admitted to the Rhode Island Bar 
as an attorney and counsellor at law February 1 3, 
1886, being first duly sworn to support the consti- 
tution and laws of the United States and the State 
of Rhode Island. I at once opened an office at 26 
Westminster street, in said Providence, and very 



32 

soon had occasion to remark how much easier it 
was to support the constitution than myself. I 
have continued at the same place ever since, bear- 
ing the burdens of a small and select but gradually 
increasing circle of more or less litigious persons. 

" It is with deep regret that I have to confess 
my inability at present to give any definite informa- 
tion as to the time and place of my marriage or the 
maiden name of my wife. While one after another 
of the boys have succumbed to the inevitable and 
are now tasting the joys of connubial bliss, I still 
remain wedded to my profession alone, and some- 
times fear lest I may have to terminate even this 
union by petition for divorce on the ground of non- 
support. 

" My travels since leaving the fostering care of 
Alma Mater are hardly worth mentioning in this 
chronicle of events, as they have been confined to 
our own glorious country with the exception of one 
flying visit to Her Majesty's Dominion across the 
border. I returned voluntarily, and unaccompa- 
nied by an officer of the law. 

" I am forced to record the fact that three years 
after graduation, Alma Mater, for a cash considera- 



33 

tion of seven dollars, conferred upon me the degree 
of Master of Arts. 

" Although a careful observer and student of 
politics, I have not as yet entered into active politi- 
cal life. No offices of honor, trust or profit, have 
been held by me, unless I may allude to my law 
office, which, while not without honor, has little 
profit and far, far too much trust. 

" I can think of nothing else that is of especial 
interest to the boys in this connection unless it be to 
call their attention to the fact that I may always be 
found at 26 Westminster street, room 9, and I might 
add that the latch string hangs without. 

" I believe I have covered in this brief account 
the salient features of my history for the six years 
last past, and have endeavored to confine myself to 
the cold facts, as fiction is unknown to my profes- 
sion." 

Address, 26 Westminster street, Providence, 
Rhode Island. 

Anthony, Alfred Williams. 

Born at Providence, Rhode Island, January 
13, i860. Parents, Lewis Williams Anthony and 
Britannia F. (Waterman) Anthony. Preliminary 

5 



34 

education at Mowryand Goff's English and Classi- 
cal School, Providence, Rhode Island. 

He writes : "At present I am blessed with four 
homes, parental, Providence, Rhode Island ; legal, 
Bangor, Maine ; prospective, Levviston, Maine, 
United States of America; actual, Berlin, Germany. 

"As for profession, or as the Germans say, 
stand, I hold a three-fold. I am a clergyman, I am 
a professor-elect, I am in Germany a student, im- 
matriculated in the Theological Faculty of the 
Berlin University October 23, 1888. 

" My marriage with Harriet Wyatt Angell, 
daughter of John Wilmarth and Elizabeth Herman 
Stillwell, occurred in Grace Church, Providence, 
September 15, 1S85. I have one child, Elizabeth 
Williams Anthony, born April 7, 1887." (A second 
daughter, Margaretha, was born March 17, 1889, at 
Berlin, Germany, and died the 20th of the same 
month). 

" Travels? Yes, in October, 1886, my wife and 
I visited Ohio, seeing en route Niagara Falls and 
other points of interest. The secretary of the 
class was a fellow traveller on the outward trip. In 
1887, alone, I visited Europe in my summer vaca- 
tion, leaving America June 30th, and returning 



35 

September 4th. The time was not long and yet 
sufficed for a hasty trip through Ireland, a glimpse 
of Wales, a few days in the central towns of Eng- 
land, namely: Chester, Stratford, Kenilworth, 
Warwick and Oxford, sixteen days in London, a 
visit to Antwerp and Brussels, then a journey along 
the Rhine, seeing Cologne, Bonn, Coblenz, Bingen, 
Mayence and Strassburg. At the last named place 
I spent three days with our classmate Simonds, then 
digging into Anglo-Saxon roots in the Strassburg 
University. He was well initiated in German mys- 
teries and Strassburg lore, and kindly shared his 
information with me. In college days we had 
haunted the police court together, seeking items 
of a sad, amusing or instructive nature. In a simi- 
lar way we haunted Strassburg institutions. Then 
I sped to Paris, stopping a night at Nancy on the 
way, thence, after eight days through London and 
Liverpool, to America. Besides Simonds, other 
Brown men were met on the journey. Carter, '85, 
was on the steamer, both going and coming ; I trav- 
elled with him through Ireland, and met him again 
both in London and Paris. On the same vessel 
returning were also Faunce, '80, Ferguson and 
Cole, '84 



36 

" Li June, 1887, the day before sailing for Eu- 
rope, I was elected professor of New Testament 
Languages and Criticism in Cobb Divinity School, 
a department of Bates College, Lewiston, Maine. 
In consequence of this election I resigned my pas- 
torate in Bangor, Maine, to which I had been called 
in May, 1885 (although I did not assume pastoral 
charge until September 27, 1885), my resignation 
taking effect May i, 1888. 

" With my family I sailed from New York May 
19, 1888, for two years' preparatory study in Europe. 
We spent eight days in Scotland, and then two 
months in London, where I did some valuable read- 
ing in the British Museum. Since August 4, 1888, 
we have been in Berlin. Here the language and 
literature, the lectures of the university, the music, 
art, architecture and libraries afford ample oppor- 
tunities for culture and study. We propose remain- 
ing abroad — perhaps not all the time in Berlin — 
until the summer of 1890. 

" Brown men are to be found on these shores. I 
just missed of Preston in London, a telegram failing 
to reach me in season to make a changed appoint- 
ment effective. French, '85, is now in Berlin, though 
he goes soon to Strassburg. Hayward, '74, 1 have met 



37 

here. Jillson, '82, comes here soon with his family 
from Paris. 

"Brown granted me A. B. in 1883, and A. M. 
in 1886. In Junior year I was elected a member 
of 0. B. K. I am, and am proud to be, a member 
of Delta Upsilon. Here, in Berlin, I consort with 
six other members of the order, brothers true. 

" My authorship consists of a few newspaper 
contributions, some time ago frequently to the 
Yout/ts Companion, of late, frequently to The 
Morning Star (both, of Boston), once to The Chris- 
tian Union, once to Golden Days. In 1886 and 1887 
I contributed occasional notes upon the Sunday- 
school lessons to the Star series of Sunday-school 
Quarterlies. 

" I do not know of other items of interest. My 
present address is LUtzowstrasse 2^, Berlin, Ger- 
many." 

Baker, Arthur Eaton. 

Born at Winchester, Middlesex County, Mas- 
sachusetts, August 2, i860. Parents, F. W. Baker 
and Mary L. (Eaton) Baker. Preliminary education 
received at Phillips Academy, Exeter, New Hamp- 
shire. 



38 

He writes : " In answer to your circular I 
would say briefly that the following are the facts 
which tell the main part of my career to date since 
leaving Brown University: 

" The first year after graduation I was instructor 
of Latin and German at Poughkeepsie College 
Preparatory School, (New York). 

" In June of 1884 I came to this city (Los An- 
geles, California,) as it was the residence of my 
father. Instead of returning, as I had expected, I 
accepted a position to teach in the public school of 
San Pedro, a few miles from this city. 

"In 1885 was elected a teacher in the public 
schools of this city, and after three years' service 
as teacher and principal, was, in September of 1887, 
appointed by the Board of Education the superin- 
tendent pro tem. of city schools, as leave of absence 
had been granted the superintendent on account 
of health. After the expiration of this leave of ab- 
sence I was duly elected deputy superintendent, 
which position I now hold. 

" My degree is that of A. B., although at the 
coming commencement of Brown the degree of A. 
M. is to be conferred upon me. 



• 39 

"September 3, 1886. I was married in this city 
to Miss Alberta Whitney, then a teacher of this 
city." (Parents' names, A. B. Whitney and Franc 
Whitney). 

Address, 7>^ North Main street, Los Angeles, 
California. 

* Baker, Sharonton Hale. 

Born at Dover, New Hampshire, 1862. Pa- 
rents, Samuel W. Baker and Lydia P. (Blake) 
Baker. 

His profession is teaching, and during the 
school year of 1884-5 he was in charge of the mid- 
dle district school of Bristol, Rhode Island, where 
he was married December i, 1884, to Alice Gard- 
ner Luscomb, daughter of George G. and Sarah 
L. Luscomb. He then removed to Provincetown, 
Massachusetts, his present residence, teaching a 
part if not all of the time in the High School. 

Address, Post Office box 13, Provincetown, 
Massachusetts. 



*Foi- the facts of the Bristol residence the class are indebted to Mr. H. F. Bennett, town clerk 
of Bristol, no answers having been received tothe class circulars. 



40 

Barker, Abram. 

Born at Fall River, Massachusetts, February 
14, 1 86 1. Parents, Abraham T. Barker and Ellen 
(Frye) Barker. Preliminary education received at 
Mowry and Goff's English and Classical School, 
Providence, Rhode Island. 

January i, 1887, he started in business for 
himself at No. 6 Exchange street, Providence, 
Rhode Island, as note broker and dealer in com- 
mercial paper, having previously been, since leaving 
college, in the office of the Ponemah Mills, Provi- 
dence, Rhode Island. 

Replying to the last class circular, Abe writes : 

" 2. As yet unattached. 

" 3. Travels : My trip from Providence to 
Seattle. 

"4. Degrees: A. M., Brown, 1886. I retain 
my membership in the Hope Club, Providence, and 
am an incorporator and treasurer of the Rainier 
Club, Seattle, Washington Territory, both social 
clubs. Am Vice President of the Merchants 
National Bank of Seattle. 

" 5. My literary talents are as yet very mea- 
grely developed. I don't believe that I shall have 
time to write a letter for the history, but you may 
print that this is a great country, and any one wish- 



41 

ing to know about it can just drop me a line and 
receive full particulars by next mail." Abe is still a 
bachelor. 

Address Seattle, Washington. 

Barrows, Ira. 

Born at North Attleboro, Massachusetts, June 
30, 1857. Parents, Henry F. Barrows and Henri- 
etta T. (Richards) Barrows. Preliminary education 
received at Mowry and Goff's English and Classical 
School, Providence, Rhode Island. 

He writes : " Have just returned from a west- 
ern trip or would have answered your letter before. 

" I. Residence, No. 85 Willow street, Brooklyn. 

" 2. Have ' not got there ' yet. 

" 3. Simply two western trips a year, and these 
of a business nature. 

"4. Member of the Hamilton Club of Brook- 
lyn, and the Alcyone Boat Club, of the same city. 

" 5. I pass. 

" 6. I am living in bachelor quarters at No. 85 
Willow street, Brooklyn. Dike, '85, is one of the 
' g^"g ' of ^ouT. We have a small cottage house in 
a very convenient and aristocratic section of the 
city. We have two servants to ' run ' the house for 



42 

us. Suffice it to say that we live like lords, and, 
probably, are sure candidates for bachelordom. 

" I am in business with my brother. My father 
retired from the business in 1883, and the two sons 
are now in proprietorship of the business. I shall 
be modest and simply say that thus far we have 
been fairly successful. Our business is in some re- 
spects a very peculiar one, and success in it depends 
almost solely on one's aptitude to the business. I 
am in love with my business, i. e., the nature of it. 
Have never regretted going into it, and as I look 
back over the six years intervening since gradua- 
tion can simply say, even if I have not made a for- 
tune, that I am satisfied. My residence has been 
Brooklyn almost since graduation, and I feel per- 
fectly at home there, more so than any place I know 
of. ^ In fact New York city and its environs have 
always had a peculiar charm and fascination for me 
ever since my first visit here twenty years ago, when, 
with an unconquerable Rhode Island appetite gnaw- 
ing at my vitals, I asked for a clambake when sit- 
ting down to dinner at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. 
My life during the past six years has been unevent- 
ful and happy. I have been spared almost miracu- 



43 

lously, so far, deep sorrow, and have been blessed 
with perfect health. " 

" The above constitutes the prosaic account of 
' '83's warbler.' I have tossed the above off on the 
spur of the moment, and feel as though you should 
give it to ' Tim ' for correction and allow him to at- 
tach the red mark of good, bad or indifferent. 

" I will try and be with you on our Triennial." 
Address ly^. Maiden lane, New York city. 

Bishop, Amasa Junius Parker. 

Although all clues that have been furnished 
have been faithfully followed out, they have been 
without result. 

The Brunonian of May 7, 1887, had a "per- 
sonal " to the effect that he was then studying law 
in Rochester, New York 

Blaisdell, Nathaniel Brown. 

Born at Providence, Rhode Island July 29, 
1862. Parents, Samuel L. Blaisdell and Harriet 
N. Blaisdell. Preliminary education received at 
the High School Providence, Rhode Island. 

He writes: "Yours of March 28th, 1889, 
received, saying that a month before you had sent 
me a class circular. This class circular never 



44 

reached me. In a letter from my father, of some 
time previous to your own, he says that he had met 
you and that you were disappointed in not getting 
any reply from me for a number of communications 
mailed me. Except your last of March 28th, the 
only letter I have had from you was one of a year 
or more ago, and that was a list of printed ques- 
tions. I did not fill it out as I could find none that 
fitted my case. Have no children, am not married. 
Have written no books, nor delivered any addresses. 
Held no offices. In my life have first, been to 
school ; second, at work. 

" When I quit work and turn tramp will let you 
know. Aside from this class formality, am greatly 
obliged to you for the trouble you have been to in 
my regard. By the way, please put me down as a 
draughtsman instead of civil engineer. I never 
could lay claim to the title of C. E." 

He is in the office of Clinton Day, architect, 
220 Sutter street, San Francisco, enjoying his work 
and satisfied that there is no place like the Pacific 
slope. He particularly desires to be remembered 
to all the boys. 

Address, 726 Bush street, San Francisco, Cali- 
fornia. 



45 

BowEN, Herbert Anthony. 

Parents, Clovis Bowen and Nancy Bowen. 
After graduation he was for a time connected with 
one of the electric Hghting companies in Provi- 
dence, Rhode Island. For the past three years he 
has been interested in mining operations in Cali- 
fornia, the latter part of the time being located in 
Siskiyou county. He is not married. He is at 
present (May, 1889,) in Providence, but no statisti- 
cal matter has been forwarded. 

Address, 65 Orms street. Providence, Rhode 
Island. 

*Brewer, Richmond. 

Graduated from Brown with the degree of A. 
B. in 1884. For a short time after graduation he 
was on the staff of a New York daily paper, then 
stenographic reporter with Dill and Chandler, at- 
torneys, 120 Broadway, New York city, and subse- 
quently in a business office. He died October 23,

ral important positions of trust, among which I

Greene, Samuel Stuart. 

Born at Providence, Rhode Island, January i, 
1862. Parents, Professor Samuel Stillman Greene 
and Mary Adeline (Bailey) Greene. Preliminary 
education received at the University Grammar 
School, Providence, Rhode Island. 

" Since leaving Brown nothinor of a startline 
nature has happened to me that would, I think, be 
of interest to my brother classmates, but since you 
insist that some production from my pen should be 
handed down to posterity, I will try and comply as 
far as I am able with your modest request. 

" In August, 1883, I left the occupation I 
was then indulging in, namely, a polo tournament 
at Martha's Vineyard, and accepted a position with 
Culver, Page, Hoyne and Company, of Chicago, 
as special agent for them for the Hall typewriter. I 
remained with them nearly three months, and would 
have done so much longer, but unfortunately for me 
the house failed, and I will say here S7id rosa that I 



71 

was not responsible for their failure. I left Chicago 
and returned to Boston and accepted a position 
with the same typewriter company, with whom I 
remained a little over a year. 

" In December, 1885, I left Boston for Thorn- 
dike, Massachusetts, to learn the cotton manufac- 
turing business at the mills of the Thorndike Com- 
pany, and remained with them until April 20, 1889, 
at which time I returned to Providence to engage 
again in the typewriter business. 

" My statistics, I believe, you have already re- 
ceived from me, and if you can derive anything 
that you think will be of interest to the class from 
the foregoing, you are welcome to do so. For my- 
self it reads in keeping with the experience — dry." 

Stuart is a lusty bachelor. 

The first of June, i88g, in company with his 
brother John he left Providence to take charge of 
one of the western offices of the Remington type- 
writer at Cleveland, Ohio.

He matriculated at Brown in September, 1882, 
having pursued a course of study at Woodstock 
College, Woodstock, Ontario, from September, 
1876, to May, 1879, with " two full years of training 
in the Theological Seminary at Morgan Park, 
Illinois, and the advance work in the Summer 
School of Hebrew in the summer of 1882." 

He was ordained clergyman June 28, 1882. 

He writes : " Immediately after Commence- 
ment in 1883 I went to Chicago and studied in the 
Summer School of Hebrew. In the autumn of 
1883 (September) I began the studies of the senior 
year in the Baptist Union Theological Seminary, 



73 

at Morgan Park, Illinois, from which institution I 
was graduated with the degree of B. D. in May, 
1884." His oration at that time was on "Charac- 
ter and Our Idea of God." " From September, 
1884, to May, 1885, I resided at Morgan Park and 
pursued graduate studies, making a specialty of 
Ethics and Hebrew. From September, 1885, to 
June, 1886, I continued work in Ethics, chiefly at 
Boston, Massachusetts. These graduate studies 
were pursued under the direction of the University 
of Chicago, which conferred ui^on me, after exami- 
nation of a published thesis, the degree of Ph, D., 
in June, 1886. The thesis was called 'Studies in 
Moral Law.' In the same month Brown University 
gave me the degree of A. M. In June, 1886, I was 
settled as pastor of the First Baptist Church of 
Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, in which relation 
I am still. 

" I was married to Miss Carrie Elliott Gifford, 
of Bristol Ferry, Rhode Island, daughter of David 
D. and Isabella E. Gifford, August 17, 1886.

articles for the religious papers and some for secu- 
lar papers. More especially for The Standard, 
Chicago, The Journal and Messenger, Cincinnati, 
and The Indiana Baptist, Indianapolis, Indiana. 

" I deeply regret my brief residence in good 
old Brown and my slight acquaintance with the 
members of the class of 1883. 

" Believing that there was much excellent ma- 
terial in that class, I hope in the future to become 
better acquainted with its members."

Harrington, Clifford Angell. 

Born at Providence, Rhode Island, March 30, 
i860. Parents, Alfred A. Harrington and Susan N. 
(Irons) Harrington. Preparatory education Provi- 
dence, High School. 

"While seeking a chance to exchange accumu- 
lated brain power (if any other meqiber of '83 were 
the editor rather than the secretary the punctuation 
after ' power ' would undoubtedly be an interroga- 
tion mark), for the coin current in this glorious 
country, a position in the city clerk's office, Provi- 
dence, then as now in charge of H. V. A. Joslin, 
Brown, '67, came in my way and was immediately 
snapped up. I entered upon my duties July 9, 
1883, at a salary which indicated either that the 
brain power aforesaid was not appreciated at its (to 
the possessor's) full value, or that one person at 
least in '83 had wasted four years. However that 
may be, I learned something, and February 9, 1884, 
succeeded C. A. Burbank, Brown, '78, as mayor's 
clerk. During the year and a half in which I held 
this position the executive chair was occupied by 
Mayor Thomas A. Doyle, and I shall always con- 
sider it fortunate that I was associated with a man 
of his acknowledged executive ability. 



76 

" July 2, 1885, very much to my surprise, the 
city council elected me, after eleven ballots, clerk of 
the Municipal Court of the city, in the place of C. 
C. Mumford, Brown, '81, resigned. This court ex- 
ercises probate jurisdiction, and is presided over by 
Judge Joseph E. Spink, Brown, '65. This office, 
to which I had been annually elected, was resigned 
May 18, 1889, to accept a position in the Mechan- 
ics Savings Bank, Providence. 

"The prospect of meeting the 'boys' at the 
triennial reunion so elated me that I determined to 
celebrate seven dollars' worth and write A. M. after 
my name with the rest. My only claim to this de- 
gree was general reading in history and some in 
law while in the mayor's office. 

" My efforts in literature have been confined to 
the preparation of essays before one or two local 
literary societies. - 

" Matrimonial ventures confined solely to at- 
tendance on some other fellows. Bachelor sure. 

" Eight weeks of vacation in six years have 
not enabled me to make extended tours, and the 
only time that I have been over a hundred miles 
from Providence was in October, 1886, when I took 
a two weeks' trip to Chicago and Cincinnati." 

Address, Mechanics Savings Bank, Providence, 
Rhode Island. 



Harris, William. 

Born at San Jose Valley, Alemeda County, 
California, October 27, i860. Son of Abraham 
W. Harris and Hannah (Bucknell) Harris. Prelimi- 
nary education received at Mowry and Goff's 
English and Classical School, Providence, Rhode 
Island. 

" Leaving college to battle with the world, his 
capital was in his brain, and his future livelihood 
was his ability to use the theories in a practical 
way. The engineer in theory learned his profession 
from the beginning in the field, and, in the course 
of one year, hard work and patient efforts won the 
praise of his chief, and by his letters and those of 
his fellow-engineers, gained appointment as United 
States Deputy Mineral and Land Surveyor for 
New Mexico, in the year 1884. Mining engineer- 
ing appeared his forte, and by careful work gained 
the confidence of the best people in the territory." 

He married Miss Kate Burnside, the daughter 
of Samuel Burnside and Melinda Burnside, of Car- 
lyle, Illinois, at Deming, New Mexico, April 18, 
1888.

His profession is that of clergyman. He 
graduated at the Hartford Theological Seminary 
(Congregational) in May, 1886, and became a can-

ber of the same year. He spent a year studying 
at Berkley Divinity School (Episcopal) Middletown, 
Connecticut, and was ordained to the priesthood 
May, 26, 1887. He immediately took up pastoral 
work as assistant rector of the Church of the Mes- 
siah, Providence, Rhode Island. The parish in 
which this church is located is large, and situated 
in the midst of a rapidly increasing community, and 
severely taxes both the time and energies of its 
rectors. So well did he meet these requirements 
that there was a demand for him in a higher sphere 
of usefulness, and June 3, 1888, he was called to the 
rectorship of St. Paul's Church, Peabody, Massa- 
chusetts, which is his field of labor at the pres- 
ent time. 



8o 

The following is taken from an article in one 
of the Providence papers : . . . " During his 
connection with the Church of the Messiah he has 
drawn to him a large circle of friends by his many 
estimable qualities, and his earnest cooperation with 
the rector in extending and executing the work of 
the parish has contributed largely to the great prog- 
ress that has been made, particularly in the mis- 
sion work at Manton and Mount Pleasant." 

He was married October 3, 1888, to Mary E. 
Baker, elder daughter of William H. and Caroline

versity Grammar School, Providence, Rhode Island. 

His class letter is as follows : 

" You know we who chose business for an oc- 
cupation, had, perhaps for a while after leaving 
college, a comparatively uneventful life, so you must 
pardon me if my sketch is quite short. On gradu- 
ating I went at once to Boston, and was for about 
two years with Thayer, Babson and Company, dye- 
stuffs, and Fairbanks, Brown and Company, the 



85 

manufacturers of the Fairbanks scales. With this 
initiation into business I accepted a better opening 
in the Brooks Chocolate Mills, importers and 
manufacturers of cocoa, and was about to be ad- 
mitted into partnership, when the factory was 
entirely destroyed by fire, which, with the attendant 
loss, caused the abandonment of the anticipated 
change in the concern. I now intend to go into 
banking in the west. 

" I have not found hard work at business es- 
pecially conducive to much exertion in a political 
or literary way, so in that line I have but little to 
report. Have had occasion to make several busi- 
ness trips west and south, going as far as Denver, 
and have just spent a few months' vacation in Eu- 
rope, largely in the usual travelled routes, England, 
France, Switzerland and Germany, ever impressed, 
as I think we all are, by the contrast offered with 
the brilliant present and still more brilliant prom- 
ised future of this our country." 

Condition in life, bachelor. 

Address, 97 Congdon street, Providence, Rhode

ning and Louisa C. (Leonard) Manning. Prelimi- 
nary education received at the Connecticut Literary 
Institute, Suffield, Connecticut. 

He writes : " I don't know whether the letter 
I wrote a few days ago will prove satisfactory. I 
thought that you had the principal events of my 
life up to the last year or so, and wished for any 
additional facts there might be since last spring. 
I was teacher of mathematics for one year in Cook 
Academy, Havana, New York, then for three 
years tutor in a family in Cumberland, Maryland, 
succeeding F. L. Shepardson in that position, and 
the two years since that time I have been principal 
here (St. George Academy, St. George, West Vir- 
ginia). I have not married, nor received any office 
nor written any books. I am sorry I cannot be 
present at the class reunion." He received the de-

which the deceased was a member, were published 
in the Brunonianoi January 13, 1883, but the name 
of another, not a member of '83, was included in 
these resolutions, and it did not seem best to more 
than call attention to the fact.

The only communication from him is dated 
August 12, 1887, and among other things says: 
" About myself there is very little to tell. I came 
to St. Paul in the autumn of 1883, and started with 
the firm of Wilson and Rogers, and after working 
for them about two years, Mr. Wilson retiring, I 
became a member of the firm. Married the daugh- 
ter of Judge J. M. Gilman in April of 1885, and 
have had two boys, John G. and Samuel M. I am 
very pleasantly situated here in St. Paul, and expect 
to make it my permanent home." 

Address, 182 East Fourth street, St. Paul, Min- 
nesota. 

Preston, Howard Willis. 

Born at Providence, Rhode Island, July 29, 
1859. Parents, Augustus H. Preston and Abby 
(Howard) Preston. " Preparatory education at 
Mowry and Goff's English and Classical School. 

" After graduation spent a few months in de- 
ciding what I would like to do for a livelihood, and 
a few more in finding out what I could get a chance 
to do. In November, 1883, entered the book and 
stationery store of William T. Tibbitts, well known 



95 

to college men, and in January, 1884, entered into 
partnership under the style of Tibbitts and Pres- 
ton, for prosecuting the book and stationery busi- 
ness in all its branches. 

"February 14, 1884, married Florence Mary 
Spencer, daughter of Jonathan L. Spencer and 
Mary A. (Briggs) Spencer. 

" My life since graduation has been rather un- 
eventful. I have held no ofifices of ' honor, trust or 
emolument.' If I have any qualifications for hold- 
ing public office neither myself nor my fellow citi- 
zens have discovered them. In 1886, with others 
of our class, I received the degree of A. M. from 
our Alma Mater in course. 

" What little time I have been able to com- 
mand for study since leaving college has been 
given to American history, and prepared ' Docu- 
ments Illustrative of American History,' issued by 
Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons, of New York, in 1886. 
It is mainly a collection of charters and state pa- 
pers of importance in our history, and is designed 
for use in higher education and for a reference 
book. It has been used at Harvard and other col- 
leges.

" In the spring of 1887 went south, visiting ^?2 
route the cities of the Atlantic seaboard, Washing- 
ton, Richmond, Wilmington, Charleston and Jack- 
sonville, and after a brief stay among the pine barrens 
and orange groves of Orlando, Florida, botanizing 
and resting, returned to Providence. In the spring 
and summer of 1888 made a flying trip in Europe, 
landing at Liverpool on May day. We reached 
London by easy stages, visiting Chester, delightful 
Warwick, Stratford (missing Simonds by only two 
days) and Oxford, which charmed with its venerable 
colleges and quiet quadrangles. After a rest in 
London we started west to Gloucester, Worcester, 
Hereford, each with its cathedral, the valley of the 
Wye, Tintern, with its ruined abbey, Bristol, so dif- 
ferent from our drowsy town on Mount Hope Bay, 
Plymouth, with Pilgrim memories, Penzance and 
Cornwall to Land's End, where we stood and looked 
towards home. Thence back to London along the 
south coast, glancing at Exeter, Salisbury, that 
' blonde beauty ' among cathedrals. Isle of Wight, 
Chichester and Brighton. Next to Brussels, whence 
in turn to damp Hague and Paul Potter's Bull, 
Amsterdam, Cologne, Rhine, Mayence, and Strass- 
burg with its clock and storks. Switzerland we 



97 

enjoyed thoroughly, though our stay was necessarily 
brief, touching Lucerne, Interlaken, Berne and 
Geneva. In Paris the book stores proved one of 
the principal attractions, as the increased weight of 
our baggage testified. 

" Returning to England, we, as in duty bound, 
made the tour of the English and Scotch lakes, and 
even the Caledonian canal. From Edinburgh, our 
appetite for cathedrals being still unsatiated, we 
made a curve, including Durham, York and Lin- 
coln, and ending in North Wales — or rather in 
Providence, which we reached in the fall, with the 
pleasantest memories of 'our old home.'"

Shepardson, Francis Wayland. 

Born at Cheviot, Hamilton County, Ohio, 
October 15, 1862. Cheviot is now included in the 
City of Cincinnati. Parents, Rev. Daniel Shepard- 
son, D. D. and Eliza (Smart) Shepardson. Pre- 
liminary education received at the Preparatory 
Department of Denison University, Granville, 
Ohio. 

In his letter he says. " I have often looked 
back with pleasure to days at Brown, with fond 
wish that I might revisit the campus, but a life 
busy with care has kept me away and the Com- 
mencement exercises here (Granville, Ohio,) have 
made my going at such a time impossible. I was 
married September 3d, 1884, to Miss Cora Whit- 
comb, of Clinton, Vermillion County, Indiana, 
youngest daughter of Hon. John Whitcomb and 



lOI 



Margaret (Whitcomb) Whitcomb. We have one 
child (class baby) John Whitcomb Shepardson, 
born in Clinton, Indiana, July 25, 1885. 1883-87 
I was teacher, and part of the time, 1885-7, was 
vice-president of the Young Ladies Institute, 
Granville. From June to September 1887 I 
(loafed) waiting for something to turn up and then 
boug-ht a half interest in the Granville Times book 
and job printing house, and became editor of the 
Times, which position I still hold. In 1888 we 
purchased a book store here and now run the two 
in combination. I was president of the ' Granville 
Ohio Historical Society,' which existed from 1885 
to 1887 and then died. I have been president of 
Granville Hose Company No. i, and several times 
have distinguished myself by heroic conduct at 
fires. I have been a member of the local Re- 
publican committee for several years, and have been 
a delegate to a number of Republican state, district 
and county conventions. 

"Since 1883 I have been associate editor of 
the Beta Theta Pi, the fraternity organ published 
in Cincinnati, Ohio." 

Address, Granville, Licking County, Ohio.

Shepardson, John Whitcomb. 

Class Baby, " was born at the home of his 
maternal grandfather in Clinton, Vermillion 
County, Indiana, Saturday morning, July 25, 1885, 
at ten minutes after eight, weighing ten pounds 
and a quarter. He laughed when ten days old, if 
an}' one spoke to him, and before he was a month 
old was an expert talker in baby language. His 
first tooth appeared three days before he was six 
months old and his second four days after that 
time. When less than a year old he could walk 
very well, and October i, 1886, deliberately picked 
up an iron dumb bell and carried it across the floor. 
It would be impossible to describe the steps in his 
progress, ' to follow the gossamer links by which the 
manikin feels his way out from the depths of the 
great unknown into the light of day,' but his parents 
and all who know him think he is a wonderful 
child. 

" He is the pet of all, and living in a seminary 
for young ladies he receives much attention. His 
name is usually shortened to Whitcomb." 

It is only just to say that the above sketch was 
sent the secretary April 5, 1887, but it seemed 
proper to insert it as giving the class an authentic 
account of the early days of their protege.

Shepardson, Frank Lucius 

Born at Princeton, Washington County 
Maine, April lo, 1861. Parents Lucius F. 
Shepardson and Maria L. (Gage) Shepardson. 
PreHminary education at the Providence, Rhode 
Island, High School. 

"Was graduated from college June, 1883. 
During the summer I tutored a candidate for 
• Brown, at Ocean Beach, New Jersey. Served as a 
pedagogue in a private school, at Cumberland, 
Maryland, from September, 1883, to June, 1884. 
From September, 1884, to present date, I have 
taught in Worcester Academy, beginning at the 
bottom round. I received promotion from time to 
time till February, 1887, when I was made first 
assistant principal, which position I now hold. 

" Summer of 1886 I lived a nomadic life, spend- 
ing my time in Massachusetts, Vermont, New 
Hampshire and Maine, — till finally I found myself 
in the extreme eastern part of the last named state, 
— Why ? because there was a certain young lady 
there. Who.-" Enough to say, she afterwards be- 
came Mrs. Shepardson. 

" Summer of 1887 I spent travelling in Europe. 
Sailed from port of New York, June 25, via 



I04 

Anchor Line, reached Glasgow, Wednesday noon, 
July 6, a lone traveller, three thousand miles from 
home. I took a trip which is very often taken by 
American travellers, — from Glasgow through the 
Lakes of Scotland via Sterling to Edinboro', 
where I stopped three days, from there to Abbots- 
ford and Melrose, where I met A. D. Cole, Brown, 
'84. From there I went through the English 
Lakes, Eastern England to Cambridge and London, 
where I spent ten days visiting the City and its 
suburbs, — then across the Channel into Belgium 
and Germany up the Rhine to Switzerland, — went 
over the Swiss Lakes and through the Swiss passes 
to Geneva, — then to Paris where I spent a week 
Here by the tomb of Napoleon L met R. H. Fergu- 
son, Brown, '84. Returning to London I stopped 
there four days, — then to Stratford, Rugby, Ox- 
ford, Chester and Liverpool. Thence back to 
Glasgow where I took a run into the country of 
Robert Burns and back. Then my time was ' up.' 
It was the 25th of August, and the next day I 
started back for America, reaching my own native 
soil September 4th, after an absence of eleven 
weeks and two days. 



I05 

"On the evening of the 25th of June, 1888, I 
was led before Hymen's Altar at which I paid the 
most solemn vows. At last I had won another 
over to be one with me, — which one I don't know, 
most likely the other one." (Frank means that 
June 25, 1888, he married Miss Sarah Whidden, 
daughter of Charles R. and Mila F. Whidden, at 
Worcester, Massachusetts.) 

" In the Fall we, not I, returned to Worcester 
Academy, where we still live and expect to be 
found the next twelve months at least. The latch 
string is always out for any member of '83."

Sherwood, Richard Otis. 

Born at Ridgefield, Fairfield County, Connec- 
ticut, September 3, 1854. Parents David D. Sher- 
wood and Laura S. Sherwood. Preparatory edu- 
cation under the private tutorship of C. F. Barker, 
M. D., of Newport, Rhode Island. 

"Graduated from Brown, June, 1883. Entered 
the Newton Theological Institution, September of 
the same year, took the regular classical course and 
graduated in June, 1886. Had previously accepted 

14 



io6 

a call to a Baptist church about to be formed in 
North Abington, Massachusetts, and was ordained 
to the ministry April 14, 1886, at which time the 
church was formally organized and recognized by 
sister churches. 

" Married Annie S. Easton, daughter of Henry 
T., and Martha A. Easton of Newport, Rhode 
Island, June 15, 1886, and at once took up resi- 
dence at North Abington. In just seventeen 
months from the date of their organization the 
church of which he was pastor dedicated a beauti- 
ful and convenient church edifice. Has taken an 
active interest and prominent part in the work of 
the denomination, speaking and officiating at 
councils, conventions and associational meetings. 
Has written several articles for the local press and 
some of his sermons have been printed. Has had 
and refused calls to larger fields. Family consists 
of himself, wife, and one daughter, Carrie Grace, 
born September i, 1887." 

Address, North Abington, Massachusetts. 

Silver, Edgar Oscar. 

Born at Bloomfield, Essex County, Vermont, 
April 17, i860. Parents, Albert Allen Silver and 



I07 

Sarah Warren (Jenne) Silver. Preliminary educa- 
tion received at the Derby Academy, Vermont, and 
Waterville (Maine) Classical Institute. His letter 
is as follows : 

" In common with what I doubt not will be 
true of the larger part of our class, I find that my 
message must be one of experience rather than 
achievemejit. The thought comes to me as I 
attempt to comply with your request, what a pity 
that a few more years could not elapse before the 
members of '83 are called upon to account to the 
old class for their stewardship since graduation ! 
But I remember that you request a truthful account 
of our individual experiences since leaving college, 
and though scarcely able, as I pause and recall the 
past, to realize that we are indeed ' alumni ' in the 
midst of the activities, responsibilities and demands 
of this busy life, and with something of the feeling 
that we used to have on our return to college after 
a long summer vacation, when we reviewed to each 
other the experiences of the vacation weeks, I en- 
deavor to summarize the six busy years since we 
separated. 

" One week from the Monday following the 
memorable Commencement of '83 found me en- 



io8 

deavoring to settle myself to the details of the pub- 
lishing business in one of its branches. That day 
(July ist, '83), I began work for Messrs. D. Apple- 
ton and Company, publishers, of New York, in 
their New England office, then No. 6 Hawley 
street, Boston. Several months later, I was trans- 
ferred to the educational department of their home 
ofifice. New York city, entering upon my work there 
April 2, 1884. I remained in this position until 
the following year, when I resigned to accept the 
management of a small publishing interest, with 
headquarters in Boston. This position I held from 
April 21, 1885, until September i, 1886, when the 
firm Silver, Rogers and Company (publishers), was 
formed. This partnership was succeeded April 16, 
1888, by the firm Silver, Burdett and Company, 
consisting of my brother, Elmer E. Silver, Brown, 
'85, Henry C. Deane, Frank W. Burdett (Harvard, 
'83,) and myself ; the business of our firm is that 
of publishers of school, college and miscellaneous 
books. 

" In thus choosing the occupation of a pub- 
lisher, my life work has been turned into a channel 
which, though unexpected, even up to the time of 
my graduation, proves thus far to be very congenial, 



log 

and while full of its own peculiarly exacting and 
sometimes laborious and perplexing details, has 
nevertheless many compensating features. While 
my turning to it for an occupation has been rather 
the result of circumstantial leading, I find myself 
thus far well contented, and hope to find in it 
a career of usefulness. 

" While in college, as my classmates are well 
aware (and I trust this is remembered by our prize 
men with becoming gratitude), I was not guilty of 
snatching away prize honors from the brows of 
worthier classmates, nevertheless, since then, I have 
been most generously remembered at the hands of 
another and very amiable Alma Mater. I was 
married on the 4th of January, 1888, in Providence, 
to Miss Susan Florence Maine, Wellesley, '86, 
daughter of Ephraim Wheeler and Catharine 
(Thompson) Maine. 

My time since graduation has been, as you will 
observe, very fully occupied in business. Neverthe- 
less, I have had opportunity occasionally for an en- 
joyable and profitable outing. The most notable 
experience of this kind was a trip to the Pacific 
coast with my wife, July and August, 1888, in the 
course of which we visited many of the points of 



no 

interest in the Rocky Mountains, the Yosemite 
Valley, Portland (Oregon), Tacoma and Seattle on 
Puget Sound (where I had a short but enjoyable 
visit with our classmate Abram Barker), the Yel- 
lowstone National Park and many other points of 
interest. 

" As I review the years that are past, in view 
of the approaching second triennial reunion, 
now so near at hand, I am impressed with the 
deep cause for gratitude which we each have in 
the fact that, so far as is known up to the time 
of this writing (May 15, 1889,) the ranks of 
our class have not been broken by death, and 
that, so far as heard from, each member of 
the class is busily at work in some line of use- 
ful and honorable occupation, which let us hope 
will yield in the years to come that success which 
will be well deserved. 

" Permit me to thank the members of the 
class for the honor conferred in my election to the 
presidency of the class three years ago, and for the 
hearty and friendly cooperation so generally shown 
since then, also to add my cordial best wishes to 
each member of '83." 

Address, 6 Hancock avenue, Boston, Massa- 
chusetts.

SiMONDS, William Edward. 

Born at Peabody, Essex County, Massachu- 
setts, September lo, i860. Parents, Edward 
Simonds and Mary A. (Chase) Simonds. Pre- 
liminary education received at the High School 
Peabody, Massachusetts, and Phillips Academy, 
Andover, Massachusetts. 

His first two years after graduation from 
Brown were spent as instructor in the High School 
at Providence, Rhode Island. He sailed direct for 
Antwerp, July 11, 1885, from thence proceeding by 
easy stages to Berlin where he met Crosby, and 
settling in a quiet part of the city, by the beginning 
of October was fairly at work in his course. 

He writes, " I attended a great many more 
lectures that winter than I could possibly have 
understood, or than I could possibly have digested 
even if I had. My specialty was old English. 
The presence of Crosby and his mother added in- 
finitely to our content. There was no lack of 
social life and theatres, concerts and the opera were 
only too frequent and effective in their provision 
for amusement and distraction. In March of 1886 
we made a change. The Crosbys as well as we 
turned our backs on gay Berlin and set our faces 



112 

toward the south. They were bound for Tubingen, 
we for Strassburg. Before our final separation, 
however, we took a most deHghtful trip together, 
visiting Dresden, Progue, Vienna, Salzburg, 
Munich, Nuremburg and spending about a month 
along the route. Then we went each his own way 
and I came in April to the city of the Minister 
and the Storks. Strassburg did more for me than 
simply to impress and charm me by its quaintness 
and its reminiscences of antiquated elegance. At 
its University I found the man who better than any 
other man in Europe could tell me what I wished 
to know in my chosen department, that man was 
professor Bernhard ten Brink. Always treated by 
him with the greatest kindness and consideration, 
ever relying on his guidance, in constant attendance 
upon his lectures and seeing much of him in social 
intercourse I came to have a profound admiration 
for his scholarship and to feel myself honored in 
counting him my master and friend. 

"When March of 1888 came round I found 
myself ready for examination. My thesis on Sir 
Thomas Wyatt and his Poems had been examined 
and accepted by the faculty ; I had the ordeal of the 
'oral ' before me. The day arrived and in full dress 
with a palpitating heart I presented myself before 



"3 

my judges. There were three : ten Brink, Martin, 
Groeber. The first examined me an hour in 
EngHsh, the second half an hour in German, the 
third a hke time in French. Each of the three 
was expected to cover, if he chose, all the ground 
implied in his subject from pre-historic time to the 
present : philology and literature were both in- 
cluded. Well! the prospect was indeed enough to 
make one shudder; but the reality, as of tens hap- 
pens, proved less formidable than its anticipation. 
The whole affair passed off pleasantly, the pro- 
fessors bore themselves in the kindest manner and 
the two hours were soon over ; my course in Ger- 
many was ended. 

" Matters were soon arranged for our home 
coming and our cheery Strassburg home was left 
behind. It was with a pang of real regret that we 
saw the tall, lone spire fade in the twilight as we 
rolled swiftly across the familiar Alsatian plains on 
the night express to Paris. Two weeks in Paris, a 
fortnight in London, a trip to the north via Oxford, 
Stratford and thence to Edinborough, brought us 
on the loth of May, to Glasgow. Our first day in 
Europe was spent in the international exposition at 
Antwerp ; it was a coincidence that our last day on 

15 



114 

foreign shores was passed in a manner precisely 
similar, in the exposition at Glasgow. The after- 
noon of the day following, found us on board the 
comfortable Furnessia; with a pleasant ship's 
company and fair weather we arrived in due time 
with no misadventure to report and only pleasant, 
grateful memories of our stay abroad. From May 
until September of 1888 was spent for the most 
part in Providence and Boston, and in Nashua, 
New Hampshire. In the latter part of the month 
last named, I received an unexpected call to an 
instructorship in German at Cornell University, 
where I now find myself most agreeably situated, 
thoroughly enjoying my work and with the added 
pleasure of association with Andrew, Wheeler and 
several other Brown men of a generation earlier or 
later than our own. The memory of Alma Mater 
has by no means passed from mind, for her and for 
the members of '83 I desire only the best of things; 
the most brilliant and enduring success." Not 
married.

In his letter he says : "As I have resided in 
Providence since our graduation my history has not 
been very eventful or interesting. Since gradua- 
tion have followed the profession of draughtsman,

and am at present with the Corliss Steam Engine 
Company. Received the degree of A. M. in 
course June, 1886. Was elected clerk of the

as clerk published the minutes of the above 
years."

education received at the Connecticut Literary 
Institute, Suffield, Connecticut. 

" If the history of the class of '83 is to be a 
record of the achievements of its members a very 
Httle space will suffice for me. 

" If it is to tell what they have not done, I fear 
that my part will be sadly disproportionate to the 
rest. I have not written a single book or magazine 
article or even a newspaper article that deserves 
mention. I have not travelled nor have I been 
honored with any college or other degrees. I have 
not even taken to myself a wife, nor am I prepared 
to disclose anything about my mother-in-law. Yet 
I have not spent all this time in state prison or in- 
sane asylum, nor have I been altogether idle. 

" Upon graduation at the Rochester Theo- 
logical Seminary three years ago I accepted the 
pastorate of a newly organized Baptist church, at 
Tonawanda, New York. Since that time it has 
been my privilege to see the membership of the 
church increase from eighteen to one hundred, and 



ii8 

to see a new and very handsome church built. The 
church organization and the church building are 
all that I have to point to as the result of my last 
three years' work. I am quite contented with my 
obscurity, and shall hear with much pride and satis- 
faction of the more brilliant achievements of my 
honored classmates."

of the Old Colony Railroad, Boston, but in April, 
1887, he was not there nor could any trace of him 
be found. 

Whittemore, Frederic Ellsworth. 

Born at Bolton, Middlesex County, Massa- 
chusetts, March 25, 1861. Parents Thomas 
Jefferson Whittemore and Louisa Maynard (Rice)

119 

In the fall of 1883, he accepted the position 
of principal of the High School at Ashland, 
Massachusetts, where he taught for three years. 

Writing in March, 1887, he says, "Last Au- 
gust (1886) I was proffered a position by the New 
West Education Commission, and have since that 
time been in its employment. My field of labor 
has been thus far in New Mexico where we are en- 
deavoring to establish good schools. The educa- 
tional provisions of the territory are inadequate to 
obtain the true objects aimed at in education, but 
under the directions of the New West Commission 
several good schools and academies have been or- 
ganized and are being well supported." His work 
with the commission continued for a year when he 
returned East and took charge of the High School 
at Weston, Massachusetts, where he is at present 
located. He is not married. 

Address, Ashland, Massachusetts. 

WiGHTMAN, Walter Valentine. 

Born at Middletown, Connecticut, July 8, 1861. 
Parents J. Colver Wightman and Abby P.

New England Granite Company in various 
capacities. 

Address, 650 Main street, Hartford, Connecti- 
cut. 

WiLLETT, Charles William. 

Born at La Crosse, Wisconsin, August 17, 
1859. Parents Charles Willett and Candice 
(Hosmer) Willett. Preparatory education at the 
Connecticut Literary Institute, Suffield, Connec- 
ticut. 

Writing from New Haven, March 16, 1887, he 
states that he is an attorney-at-law, and a graduate 
of the Yale Law School, and was admitted to the 
bar in July, 1883. He says, " In August, 1885, I 
was appointed deputy coroner, for New Haven 
County which office I now hold. In December, 
1885, I was elected city clerk of this city to fill a 
vacancy caused by the death of the incumbent of 
the office. I held that position from December i, 
1885, to January i, 1887. In December, 1886, I 
ran again for city clerk and was defeated by 243 
votes, running several hundred ahead of my 
ticket." 



121 

Since December i, 1887, he has been a resi- 
dent of St. Paul, Minnesota, where he is a success- 
ful practitioner in the law firm of Merrill and 
Willett. 

Address, National German-American Bank 
Building, St. Paul, Minnesota. 

Williams, Clarence Otis. 

Born at North Foster, Providence County, 
Rhode Island, November 10, 1859. Parents 
Stephen P. Williams and Hannah (Brown) 
Williams. Preliminary education received in the 
public schools of Providence, Rhode Island. 

" In accordance with three requests and 
ominous threats from the secretary I sat down 
fully two hours ago to write up my history, but 
have had a woeful time ransacking the accumulated 
junk of memory to find something that would 
interest such charitable critics even as one's college 
classmates. 

" The autumn following graduation I ac- 
cepted an election to the position of instructor in 
Latin and metaphysics in the New Hampton 
Literary Institute of New Hampton, New Hamp- 
shire. 

16 



122 

" There I remained three years, where in ad- 
dition to the Latin and metaphysics I taught 
several terms each of geology, zoology, physiology, 
algebra and geometry. 

From New Hampton the fates directed my 
course to Lewiston, Maine, where I found a long 
desired opportunity of pursuing the study of 
Hebrew in connection with my professional work. 
In this city are situated Bates College, Cobb Di- 
vinity School and Nichols Latin School. At the 
same time I entered the Divinity School and 
was elected instructor in Latin and Mathematics at 
the Latin School. Besides this instruction and 
study, three hours each day were given to private 
pupils while my Sabbaths were devoted to the pul- 
pit of the South Lewiston Free Baptist Church. 

One year and two months later I was elected 
to my present position, Waldron professor of the 
Latin language and literature in Hillsdale Col- 
lege, Hillsdale, Michigan. On Sabbaths I supply 
the pulpit of the Somerset (Michigan), Congrega- 
tional Church. 

"As for wife, children, travels and authorship, 
these things belong to my future history : the fates 
are silent and the subscriber is no prophet." 

Address, Hillsdale, Michigan.

1859. Parents Isaac Frazee Williams and Mary 
E. (Weed) Williams. Preliminary education re- 
ceived at Mowry and Goff's English and Classical 
School, Providence, Rhode Island. 

He entered the Harvard University Medical 
School, from which he graduates this June, entitled 
to an M. D. after his name. 

He writes, " I am afraid that you will find my 
history far from interesting, and I have found it for 
all practical purposes much the same, in fact I can 
think of nothing to add to the very meagre answers 
to the questions of the circular. If possible I 
want to be present at the reunion this year, as I 
missed the last three years ago, but examinations, 
the bete noir of every student, may prevent me 
now as then." Condition in life, bachelor. 

Address, 9 Byfield street, Bristol, Rhode 
Island. 

Wilson, Clarence Edward. 

No answer to the recent class circulars has 
been received, and the only communication is one

REUNION HYMN. 



Tune — America. 



Loved class of '83, 

Our song we raise of thee, 

Our heart-felt song. 
Come, comrades, classmates all, 
Come at the cheerful call, 
Come to the banquet hall, 

Your jojs prolong. 
2. 
Once more together stand. 
Clasping the friendly hand, 

Greeting with cheer, 
Brothers of years ago. 
Whose hearts together flow, 
And whose aftections grow 

Firm with each year. 



Six years in circling round 
Still all our hearts have found 

Loyal to " Brown." 
O, may her future yield 
Fruits from a richer field ; 
Grand influences may she wield 

Long wear her crown. 

4- 

May he who rules the skies, 
Look still with loving eyes ; 

Guide by His hand, — 
That we, oft met before, 
May, on life's other shore, 
Meet, but to part no more : 

No broken band. 

—J. N. Eno. 



APPENDIX. 



CLASS. FUND. 



At a class meeting in June, i8SS, it was unanimously decided that 'S3 should 
place itself in line with some of the older classes of Brown and raise a fund to 
be placed at her disposal, and subscriptions were invited. The response has 
been quite general, though the amount is not what had been hoped for. 

In considering the financial matters of the class at the reunion, June 18, 18S9, 
it was considered best to keep the money in two distinct funds. One, the inci- 
dental fund, which will show a balance on hand over all drafts upon it, is to be 
drawn upon to pay the running expenses of the class, postage, etc., etc. ; the 
other, the permanent fund, the subscriptions to which amount to over $225, is 
to be kept intact with its accumulations of interest, and still further increased 
till such time as the class desire to turn it over to the college; the present inten- 
tion being to raise a fund which shall be known for all time as the fund of the 
class of '83, the income of which shall be devoted to a specific purpose, and not 
have it merged with any other fund or absorbed in the common fund, so called, 
of the college. 

The matter will be brought to your further consideration by the treasurer, who 
has been empowered by the class to adopt such measures as will best secure the 
desired object.
